Cansa’s Relay for Life very successful THE annual Cansa Relay for Life was held in Welkom on Friday (06/02) and Saturday (07/02). In total 14 teams participated. This year’s event was very successful. About 300 people joined in at various stages of the relay, and Welkom’s St Andrew’s School entered a spirited and enthusiastic team. After a couple of years on the back burner, the relay will once again become an annual event in Welkom. Cansa plans to have the 2016 Relay for Life at the end of March 2016. Pictured above are the cancer survivors, who have taken part in the Survivors’ Lap the opening event of the relay – during all Relay for Life events that were held. Photo: Photo by Ken
Service failure
Residents battle leaks, refuse problems Alet van der Walt
SERVICE DELIVERY is virtually non-existent in the Matjhabeng Municipality, with residents struggling with refuse removal, water and electricity supply, leaking pipes and overflowing sewerage systems, to name just a few. In Virginia refuse removal came to a standstill due to a shortage of refuse trucks and the non-payment of overtime to workers. Residents regularly battle to get municipal workers to attend to water leaks. Clean water sometimes flow into the veld for days or even months before leaks are fixed. In Hospitaal Park, Odendaalsrus,
residents go without electricity on a regular basis because the cables are old and need to be replaced. The Phomolong Township sometimes have to go without drinking water for days, while the foul smell of raw sewerage hangs in the air. In Thabong houses are flooded when it rains because the drainage system does not work properly. Residents accross the whole area struggle with low water-pressure, because municipal workers restrict the water flow in pipes to prevent old pipes from bursting. Overtime payment was stopped last year because workers abused the system. DA councillor Piet Botha told Vista the entire infrastructure is
so dilapidated that it is impossible for maintenance teams to work during normal hours only. However, sources claim that workers abuse the overtime system and allegations have been made that tractors and refuse trucks are sabotaged during the week. These trucks will then be fixed by Friday, so it is claimed, in order for workers to work during the weekend when they can claim overtime. DA councillor, André Styger, believes certain teams need to be allowed to do overtime work, but that it should be regulated. ) After numerous attempts, Vista failed to get the municipality to respond to these issues.
MUNICIPAL tractors in Virginia are without wheels, diesel gauges are not working and batteries are flat.
